Spotlight Sunday

Before we show you some of Sabrina’s incredible creations we thought you would like to get to know her a little better. We asked her a few crafty questions.

1.When did you start scrapbooking/paper crafting? Why?

I made my first scrapbook back in 1997 when I got married. I used the photos from the disposable cameras we put out on the guest tables. I used lots of mis-matched stickers and as many decorative edge scissors that I could, LOL! Needless to say, it's fun to look back and see how I've progressed (thank goodness!) I didn't scrapbook for many years after that. Eight years ago when my son Tristan was four, I started back up with his baby book. And it's been non-stop ever since!

Scrapbook pages are my first choice because I feel it's important for me to keep up on our family memories. I make one book per year, and we love looking back at the scrapbooks from years past. However, cards are a very close second. I started making cards about a year and a half ago, when my friend invited me to a Stampin' Up card party. I fell in love with making cards and have been enjoying that too. I enjoy mini-books too, but haven't made too many of those.

3.What is your favorite product to use on your projects?

As a real girly-girl, I love bling, flowers, and sparkle! Even though I don't have any girls, I have gotten creative in ways to incorporate those elements into my scrapbook pages! When making cards, I usually have some type of bling or flower on them (unless they are for a male.)

4.What is your favorite Cricut cartridge?

Hmmm, that's a hard one! My favorite font cartridge I think would be Don Juan. It came with my Create and it's such a good basic unicase font. For a shaped cartridge, I love Create a Critter. Those little animals are just too cute! Sweet Treats is also a favorite, as it's perfect for birthday cards and layouts.

5.What do you do in your spare time, when you are not paper crafting?

I love spending time with my family and friends. I love walking, reading blogs, paper craft web-sites, and paper craft magazines.

Any other info you would like us to know about you:

I love the crafty blog world I have found! I have made some awesome crafty friends who are so supportive and encouraging, and I appreciate them all!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back tomorrow for a new Challenge Me Monday challenge. It’s going to be a fun one!

Sabrina's creations are girly-girl yet a very sophisticated one and eye catching. I particularly love the card with boots in it and the girl riding the bicycle. The designs are perfect! And like Sabrina, I also started paper designing with scrapbooking. What makes scrapbooking nice is the fact that you are not simply designing things, you are preserving memories. :)
